1 like•1,050 views
The document discusses different forms of online communication and their properties. It covers ephemeral communication methods like instant messaging and voice chat that disappear when closed compared to more permanent methods like blogs, mailing lists, and websites. It describes key aspects of blogs like reverse chronological posting, archives organized by date and category, and permalinks. Blogs also allow for feedback through comments. The document contrasts mass production and consumption with individual calibration and validation online. It examines speech as private, public or secret and how distribution is shaped by technology, culture and business factors.
